I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said,
Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight...

Appearance: A girl who is a bit rough and tumble, she usually wears practical clothing. It is not uncommon to see her in jeans and a t-shirt for working on the farm. She usually wears flats and overall doesn't spend a lot of time dressing up. This is not because her family is poor, it is because it is more practical for her enviroment.

She has long blonde hair she liked to wear straight. She sometimes pulls it up in a ponytail mostly when she is working. She also has been known to don braids before in the summer. She has soft brown eyes and a gentle oval face.

She is thin, around 98 pounds. This is mostly due to work on the farm. She is roughly 5'5. She hates being short and getting picked on by her sibling's for it.

Her scars have for the most part vanished. Though some relics of the past can still be seen underneath the scar cream and make-up. This is more prominent on her arms which causes her to cover them with long sleeve's when it's not too hot. The few on her face are concealed. By the time she turns 16, they should mostly be gone thanks to the cream.

Don't you dare look out your window darling;
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone, gone

Her Personality: Julia is a sweet girl though she has been damaged. She helps her mother and generally takes pride in her work. She can be a bit sarcastic at times, something to watch out for. Yet, usually her jokes and comments come from a loving place.

She does have occasional bouts of depression. And once suffered from anorexia. This is revealed in her history though she sometimes continues to suffer from it. However, she is putting on weight and doing better over time. Her mood since the major incident has started to balance out and she is despite the occasional setback doing better.

She takes care of her younger sibling's fiercely. And if the need arose knew without a doubt she would volunteer in order to protect them. Her elder sister Annalise probably would avoid having made such a rash plan as it would be deemed. However, a part of Julia wonder's what would happen if she won. Or even if dying would really be the worst thing possible. Sometimes girl's that are too nice have to make a choice: Do you shatter? Or do you protect yourself?

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe & sound..

Her Training:
Julia has been trained in survival skills. If lost in the forest she would easily adapt. She does know about traps and hunting and is good with the bow and arrow as well as throwing knives or spears. She is not a big a fan of daggers or swords however she would not be above poison.

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe & sound

History:
Julia Ari was born on one of the largest farm's in District 4. She was not the first daughter of Damien and Jennifer and was at times pushed around by her elder siblings. However, she was expected to take responsibility at an early age. There are some people who disapprove of this, stating that to some extent her parent's had already started to rob their daughter of her childhood...which many knew may be the only memory's she would have left if she were to be reaped.

She spent her days first helping to get eggs from the hen coop, then later going fishing with her father. Her father taught her a lot of survival skills and is even known to have left her alone with some supplies out in the nearby woods. Julia made it back 5 days later, a little fatigued but alive nonetheless. She soon took up horseback riding as a hobby, and loves to spend her free time riding around the district. As time went on and her younger sister's were born, as their mother was often busy, she would step in and help them along with her big sister Annalise.

At 13 she had her first boyfriend. She went to the local dance with him and everything seemed to be going fine. That was until he cheated on Julia with class president Ashley Fairbanks. Ashley, in her own way, was what Julia wanted to be. At least she was after Julia began to try to understand why she was played. Julia went into a tailspin resulting in anorexia. She dated again but things got worse.

She ended up in an abusive relationship. She was beat repeatedly for any little offense, or supposed offense to her new boyfriend she made. He tried to rape her though she was able to rescue herself from that incident. It took her parent's six months, when their daughter came home covered in blood, for them to acknowledge their daughter couldn't save herself this time.

Julia was hospitalized for a month. In which time she received some therapy and started to get better. Or so they thought. Two months later she became depressed. She felt isolated and wanted to be loved. She tried to find a new boyfriend but it didn't work out. With the stress of taking care of her sibling's, almost a second parent at times, and her own schoolwork and life, she tried to take her own life. Her brother rescued her, rushing her into the hospital. She was stabilized and after the remainder of her 13th, and for 3 months of her 14 year old life she was left in the hospital.

Her condition did greatly improve. She soon began to realize she could have asked for help and was for two months placed on medication after returning home to a rather warm welcome. She weaned herself off the medication gradually. And now at 15 is starting her life over as best she can.

In her words:
The night I tried to die...I could have lied and said I remember nothing. But, I do remember his face. The boy I first loved loomed in front of me. Ashely clung onto his arm and smiled serenely.

"You'll never be anybody you know."

I didn't want to believe the words coursing through my head. I saw my next boyfriend stare down at me He leaned down to my face, ran a hand over my skin...and a small hiss of pain escaped my lips.

"Baby...you fell down the stairs, all right? You gonna be ok now though."

What was ok anymore? Was it the absence of pain? Or the end of feeling? I looked down at my body, covered in scars. Blood dripped from my legs, my arms. My own tears falling onto my pants stained them red. Was this world even worth it? It would be easy...so simple.

I closed the bathroom door and turned on the water in the bathtub. The sound was calming somehow. I filled it almost to the brim and then didn't bother to strip off more than my shoes and socks. As I stepped in and sat down in the tub water sloshed onto the floor and I didn't care. It covered me to my shoulder's and I closed my eye's for a moment.

My first boyfriend stood near me. His eye's smiled as he held out a hand. I felt myself taking it. "Here, just relax." And I felt him lowering me. I barely noticed the water filling my ears, and covering my face as he kissed me. I felt like I was in bliss.

I could hear my heart thudding in my chest. The face changed. "It's ok baby, right? I...let's get you cleaned up now. I promise I'm never going to hurt you again, ok?" His slightly panicked voice didn't surprise me for some reason. I turned to look at him and just smiled. He looked startled.

"Your never gonna hurt me again. No one's going to hurt me again. Not this time." And I saw my first boyfriend behind him. I pushed him out of the way and my boyfriend took my hand in his. "I love you Julia." It was hard to breathe now. My mind was going...I could feel it drifting. But, I fought to look at him and say what I wanted so badly. "I love you. With all my heart."

And the water took me in its embrace.
